Issue
When deploying a package on your 4.7 environment through P&D, one of the Views fails to deploy with the error below returned:
"An item with the same key has already been added"
Symptoms
- From the deployment logs, the full error message is as follows:-
"Fail <View Name> An item with the same key has already been added. System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. at SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.BaseAPIConnection.RemoteCall(String TypeName, String MethodName, Object[] Parameters, Boolean[] NullList, MarshalMessageType CallType) at SourceCode.Hosting.Client.BaseAPI.BaseAPI.RemoteSessionCall(String TypeName, String MethodName, Object[] Parameters, Boolean[] NullList) at SourceCode.Forms.Management.FormsManager.DoSessionCall(String method, Object[] parameters, Boolean[] nullList) 2. Deleting the View and its dependencies on the Target environment, and then re-deploying the package does not help. at SourceCode.Forms.Management.FormsManager.Deploy(String definition, String category, Boolean checkIn, Boolean skipReferenceValidation) at SourceCode.Runtime.Services.Forms.FormsSessionData.DeployView(View view, Boolean checkIn, Boolean skipReferenceValidation) at SourceCode.Runtime.Services.Forms.Services.BaseFormViewService`3.DeployAuthoringInstance(AuthoringType instance) at SourceCode.Runtime.Services.Forms.Services.BaseFormViewService`3.Deploy(IDeploymentContext context)"
- The issue persists after deleting the erroneous View along with its dependencies on the Target environment, and then re-deploying the package.
